Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 cups oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M's
Instructions
- Prepare a large mixing bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for cooling the cookies.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30-45 seconds, stirring until smooth and fully integrated.
- Add rolled oats to the peanut butter and honey mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are evenly coated.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, allowing them to slightly melt from the warm mixture for enhanced flavor distribution.
- Carefully incorporate M&M's into the cookie mixture, being careful not to crush the candies.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form mixture into 1-inch round balls, pressing firmly to compact ingredients.
- Place formed cookie balls onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Refrigerate cookies for 10-15 minutes to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter and honey for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
- For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats to maintain the right texture.
- If the mixture seems too sticky, refrigerate it for 5-10 minutes before forming balls.
- For a fun twist, try different mix-ins like butterscotch chips or crushed pretzels.
- Make sure to press the cookie balls firmly to help them hold their shape.
- If you want a firmer cookie, extend the refrigeration time to 30 minutes before serving.
- For a more uniform look, use a cookie scoop to create perfectly sized cookies.
- These cookies are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and prevent melting.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite candies or chocolate varieties!
